I am sure that your using emulator.

Andriod emulator is separate virtual machine by itself. If we provide localhost/127.0.0.1 as a hostname, then emulator will try to search url within its environment. To avoid this problem, we need to provide the ipaddress of local machine.

Pls note that machine name as a hostname will also give problem.

127.0.0.1 refers to localhost in the Emulator, not your machine.

Use 10.0.2.2 to connect to your host machine.
